TEST DRIVE - Part 3

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.

A-are you okay?

[She notices immediately]

Are... was it something I said?
glowstoneforger: (worried; this is bad)

[personal profile] glowstoneforger 2015-11-05 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
no

[He shakes his head, meeting her eye again.]

memories

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-05 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I'm sorry.. You must come from a world with a lot of trouble with it, huh?

[She tries not break his gaze, but then she shyly looks away anyway.]
glowstoneforger: (sad; ...)

[personal profile] glowstoneforger 2015-11-05 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
...

yes

[He doesn't try to meet her gaze, this time, just closing his own eyes. All of what happened is still fresh in his mind, fresh and... painful...]

I... Umm...

[How to progress... Oh! That's right! She has super powers now!]

Oh... Um... Let me at least repay you for the charm. You.... I know you're busy giving them out, but... it'll only take a few minutes!
glowstoneforger: (neutral; ...?)

[personal profile] glowstoneforger 2015-11-05 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh? He blinks a bit, slowly shaking his head at that.]

that's not necessary
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-05 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no... Please.. I'd like to do something for you. It's... it's nothing material... but it's just a little something...

[She touches her bandages on her forehead, where her gem is]

I'd... I can give relief to other people, and loving warmth... I... It just... might help energise you... so... so I'm told.
glowstoneforger: (afraid; I can't... protect anyone...)

[personal profile] glowstoneforger 2015-11-05 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...That. Uh. Oh, no...

In theory, that sounds good, but the way she phrases that... Suga shakes his head, just holding the same memo out again, a little more firmly this time. Thank you, but.

No.]
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-05 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... I... I'm sorry... Okay...

[She wanted to help but...]

Never mind. S-sorry for bothering you, sir...
glowstoneforger: (worried; this is bad)

[personal profile] glowstoneforger 2015-11-05 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[...way to make him feel bad, there, lady. He hesitates, then writes again, holding out that memo instead.]

you didn't bother me
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-05 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... yeah... I know... I know...

[She shies away]

Um... bye... and.. and thank you for the charms again.

[...Hah. Suga just nods a bit, waving quietly at her. He doesn't write it down, but it's clear from his expression that he's thinking "you're welcome".

At least she'll be keeping that...]
